Our Monkey

Lillian
After months of agonizing practice ("But it takes sooooooo long to practice. I just want you to help me!"), Lily has finally mastered the monkey bars. And now there's no stopping her. She does them a million times a day and is proud of her blisters, which must not hurt too terribly bad or we'd hear about that, too.
I have to say, I'm proud at the time she spent getting to "just one more bar." It took some convincing that she didn't need us holding on to her legs and that she just had to keep trying. And she's so proud that she can do it herself now. Plus, she was getting heavy to hold up. :) She's growing up right before our eyes.
That is so cool! I remember when we had to hold her legs while she went across. I'm glad to have been part of the process! And, she slides down the fire pole, too! Maybe all that needed was time for her legs to get a little longer! :)
